The Artisan curse is broken. Souls
trapped in a mysterious otherworld called The Void are finally
released. Now, Raven Weathersby, Gideon Maddox, and Cole Wynter can
finally move on with their lives...or so they thought. If the ancient
magic is truly dead, then why are mystical fires plaguing Gideon at
every turn? What accounts for Raven’s frightening visions of her
dead mother? And who is the beautiful, tortured girl haunting Cole’s
dreams?

Last year, a group of lonely teens
sacrificed secrets, battled the supernatural, and faced their own
demons to set one another free. Yet six months later, the heart of
evil still beats within The Void. And the trio is forced to face the
horrific truth: that their only way out is to go back in.

The Paladins completes this eerie YA
Southern Gothic where loyalties are tested, love is challenged, and
evil seeks them on the ultimate battlegrounds—in their minds, their
souls, and their hearts.

I’m
excited to share the playlist for THE PALADINS with you. I listen to
such diverse stuff, classical/bluegrass/coffee house/alternative, and
grunge. Below is a sample of what I listen to. A few of the artists
and their amazing music that helped inspire the story. It’s an odd
mix of styles and emotions, but then, so is THE PALADINS! Lol.

Born in Ohio, I lived next to my
grandfather’s horse farm until the fourth grade. Summers

were about
riding, fishing and make-believe, while winter brought sledding and
ice-skating on frozen ponds. Most of life was magical, but not all.

I struggled with multiple learning
disabilities, did not excel in school. I spent much of my time
looking out windows and daydreaming. In the fourth grade (with the
help of one very nice teacher) I fought dyslexia for my right to
read, like a prince fights a dragon in order to free the princess
locked in a tower, and I won.

Afterwards, I read like a fiend. I
invented stories where I could be the princess… or a gifted heroine
from another world who kicked bad guy butt to win the heart of a
charismatic hero. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that? Later, I
moved to Florida where I continued to fantasize about superpowers and
monsters, fabricating stories (my mother called it lying) and sharing
them with my friends.

Then I thought I’d write one down…

Hooked, I’ve been writing ever since.
I write historical, contemporary, urban fantasy, adventure, and young
adult romances. I love strong heroines, sweeping tales of mystery and
epic adventure… which must include a really hot guy. My writing is
proof you can work hard to overcome any obstacle. Don’t give up. I
say, if you write, write on!
